Hello!
This post may be a surprise to some and not so much to others. I just might be the shortest-lived Community Admin in Blocktopia and EscapeRestart history. Raxo will probably confirm. After a little over 6 years in and out of this community, I think that it is finally time for me to permanently retire from staffing and directing. I might actually read Iguana's post about coming back from the dead, because I've done so, twice I think.
After spending the amount of time, the countless hours and couple of sleepless nights here that I've spent, I've done some soul searching. In the past couple of days, I've thought about my life in general and the role that the community, LoP, and RoF play in it.
In October of 2010, I was introduced to TheOne's Lava Survival, and the community of TheOne's. I played a lot, and met some really great people, a couple of which I still talk to on a daily basis and I consider to be some of my really close friends. Throughout the 6ish years, I've met a ton of really great people, and a lot of my time spent staffing was with and for my friends here. It was fun. Over time, a lot of those friends have moved on, and I've kind of stuck around.
To put it simply, I'm ready to move on and do other things with my time I'd spend here. Spend more time with friends, experience things more. Blah, blah.
I do not regret a second of the time I've spent here. I have learned a lot about myself, about people, leadership, and a lot of not-so-superficial things here. I've had the privilege of meeting some really great people here. I've had a lot of fun playing things and doing things for others. None of this would've been possible if I hadn't stayed with the community, and I'm really glad to have met everyone I've met and to have had the fun times that I've had. So, seriously, thank you to this community for everything it's done for me and to all of the players, staff, and others that have made the community what it's been for over 6 years.
I am not leaving completely. I will continue to float around, poke in people's business, and play fun things with the friends that I have that are still here. I am, however, completely content and finished with my days staffing/directing/developing/whathaveyou.
If I thanked everyone individually who Ive interacted with over the years, I'd reach the character limit. You know who you are.
